TWA Charges
Tariff Abuse
ly Allegheny
Washington—TWA has filed a
formal complaint with the CAB
charging Allegheny Airlines with
violating its tariffs and calling on
the board to apply to a U.S. District Court to restrain Allegheny
from further violations.
The complaint alleges Allegheny
is engaging in unfair and deceptive
practices by failing to restrict the
use of the new "commuter" type
tickets to individuals purchasing
the reduced rate transportation
both airlines offer between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
Under the "book ticket" plan
purchasers receive 10 one-way
tickets for travel between the two
cities for $156.80, a saving of 15
per cent off the regular first class
fare. The tariff clearly states that
such tickets are not transferable.
TWA charges that Allegheny ignores this provision and is engaged
in a continuous and persistent sales
campaign in which purchasers and
prospective passengers are advised
that "coupons are transferable."
TWA supported its complaint
with documented evidence showing
that Allegheny is advising passengers that coupon tickets may be
used by different individuals and
that a company, for example, could
purchase a book of the coupons
and permit several employees to
use them.
In appealing to the CAB, TWA
said the board should consider altering, amending or revoking Allegheny's certificate, at least with
respect to the carrier's operating
authority between Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia.
In asking the CAB to seek a
court injunction, TWA pointed out
that the board's rules and procedures for investigation of complaints and prosecution of enforcement cases do not afford sufficiently
expeditious relief to deal with
an unusual situation.
Stancil Appointed
Amarillo Manager
Amarillo — Herbert A. Stancil
has been named district manager
at Amarillo, with combined responsibility for the sales and transportation divisions. His appointment was announced jointly by J.
W. Letzkus, vice president of
sales-Western region, and V. J.
Stott, regional general transportation manager.
Stancil formerly was district sales
manager at Amarillo. He now
also assumes the duties of DTM
Robert Word, recently appointed
district sales manager for Portugal.
Stancil has been with TWA 30
years and is well-experienced in
both sales and transportation. He
served as DTM at Wichita several
years prior to transferring to the
sales department.

Mutual Aid Pact
Extended a Year
Washington — The six-airline
mutual aid agreement has been extended for another year. An
amendment to the original one-
year pact has been filed with the
CAB, continuing the agreement
until October 20, 1960.
The agreement provides for
limited financial assistance in the
case of certain strikes. The six major carriers party to the agreement
are American, Capital, Eastern,
Pan American, TWA and United.
Postal Plan Wins
Qualified Approval
Washington—TWA has advised
the CAB it is in full agreement
with a post office proposal to
transport additional quantities of
first class mail by air and to extend the service to areas in the
United States not covered by the
present experiment.
At the same time, however, the
company termed rate proposals
made by the CAB as "unrealistic"
and contended that a fair and reasonable rate for carrying first class
mail should be at least 24 cents a
ton mile.
TWA said the rates proposed
by the board are below standard
freight rates and are based on a
cost standard without regard to
the value of first class service.
Transportation Division

City last week. More than 125 key transportation division executives
